In a saucepan, brown the mince in the oil then drain

To the mince add the onions and fry until almost done, then add the stock, peas, carrots and oregano. Cover and let simmer on a low heat. The longer you leave it the more tender the mince will be. I leave mine a good few hours before starting the potatoes

In another pan, boil the sweet potatoes in enough water to cover them for around 15 minutes

When the sweet potatoes are soft, drain them, mash and season with salt and pepper to taste

When the carrots have cooked through, stir in the tomato puree and flour to thicken the gravy

Now there are two options. You can layer the mince on the bottom of a casserole dish, top with the mash, and bake for 15 minutes at gas mark 6 / 200C / 400°F to crisp the top of the potatoes, or you can just serve with the potatoes spooned on top or on the side. My kids like theirs baked in individual ramekins, they think it's special that way!
